Default Giving it a try....

Thanks for the encouragement ya'll!!

I may have to just break down and do it. I think I will wait until we (wife and I) get into a house first, a single bedroom apartment is a pretty awful place to glass the center section of a wing. I can't imagine how bad creating a mold and then using it would be.. I can't wait until I have a garage again!!!!! : )

I pulled the plug and wing out of storage back at Christmas. Even took some pics of it, I will post them if I can get them developed soon.
The plug is fairly symmetrical. I have some tools that will allow me to check that for sure.

I think a q500 fuse might also be a good experiment for learning plugmaking and layup because of the relatively simple shape.

Thanks again Mike for the neat posts, I know we all look forward to seeing the end results.
